A 23-year-old man will face a murder charge in a New South Wales court today after being extradited from Queensland.
The charge stems from a May 12 incident in Coonabarabran, about 340km north-west of Sydney, when a 53-year-old man was found at the front of a house with serious injuries to his head and face.
Emergency services were called to the Nandi Street home about 7pm and police were told a group of people had gathered when the man was found.

Police have described the incident as a fatal assault.
The older man, who knew the younger man, was airlifted from Coonabarabran Hospital to St George Hospital but later died.
Detectives investigating the alleged murder eventually applied for the 23-year-old's extradition and Queensland police arrested him at home in the north Brisbane suburb of Carselding early on Monday morning.
NSW police said the man yesterday faced Brisbane Magistrates Court, where his extradition just across the border to Tweed Heads was granted.
He's due to front Tweed Heads Local Court today after being taken to the local local police station and charged with murder.
